Cooking with Denise: Salted Caramel and Raspberry Pots
Our in-house chef Denise Phillips serves up her latest delicious dish!
These layered pots of crushed biscuits, salted caramel and raspberries are an impressive romantic dessert that can also be made parev. Layer the mixture in glass dishes, ramekins, wine or champagne glasses for a stylish look. The added bonus about this dessert is that is has to be made in advance so no last minute cooking or preparation is required.
Methods
For the salted caramel sauce:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat.
- Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
- Add the vanilla and cream and bring to boiling point.
- Turn the heat down and simmer for five minutes, stirring continuously until thickened and the colour of toffee. Stir in the salt and leave to one side.
For the pots:
- Using an electric hand whisk, whip the cream until it starts to thicken. Add the vanilla and sugar and continue to whisk until a soft peak consistency.
- Cover the base of your glass or dish with crushed biscuits. Top with a layer of the salted caramel sauce, followed by a layer of cream and topped off with raspberries.
- Chill until ready to serve.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
